SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Mediation/Arbitration Program (for 
Canada only)
If you feel that the efforts by Volvo and the 
retailer to resolve a factory-related vehicle 
service concern have been unsatisfactory, Volvo 
Car Canada Limited participates in an impartial 
third party mediation/ arbitration program 
administered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle 
Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP).
The CAMVAP program is a straightforward 
alternative to resolve a disagreement when all 
other efforts to produce a settlement have failed. 
This procedure is without cost to you and is 
designed to eliminate the need for lengthy and 
expensive legal proceedings.
In the CAMVAP program, impartial third-
party arbitrators conduct hearings at mutually 
convenient times and places in an informal 
environment. These impartial arbitrators review 
the positions of the parties, make decisions and, 
where appropriate, render awards to resolve 
disputes. CAMVAP decisions are fast, fair and 
final as the arbitrator’s award is binding on both 
you and Volvo Car Canada Limited. The CAMVAP 
services are available in all Canadian territories 
and provinces. For more information, without 
charge or obligation, call your CAMVAP provincial 
administrator directly at 1-800-207-0685, or visit 
their website at www.camvap.ca.
2021 Service and Maintenance  
Requirements
Customer Preparation ServiceYour Volvo has received a comprehensive 
Customer Preparation Service. Your retail facility 
has performed a Pre-Delivery which includes 
a complete inspection and servicing of your 
vehicle. The Pre-Delivery (PDS) is a key part of a 
comprehensive maintenance schedule developed 
by Volvo for your vehicle.
Oil and Filter Change IntervalThe correct oil and filter interval is every 10,000 
miles = 16,000 km or 12 months WHICHEVER  COMES FIRST. For service intervals beyond 
150,000 miles/240,000 kilometers, please 
consult your authorized Volvo retailer.
Cabin Air Filter All Models• Replacement every 20,000 miles (32,000 km)
• Replace at least once a year or more often in 
heavy traffic and dirty/dusty areas.
Maintenance SchedulingMaintenance intervals have usually been 
determined by accumulated mileage. As 
driving conditions and operational demands 
differ, these factors have a major influence on 
routine maintenance. For these reasons Volvo 
recommends that your maintenance schedule 
services and oil filter changes be based on a 
combination of time and mileage. The Text Window in the instrument panel will 
display a message when vehicle maintenance is 
required.
1st display when maintenance interval is near: 
“Book time for maintenance”
2nd display when maintenance is required: “Time 
for maintenance”
3rd display when maintenance is overdue: 
“Maintenance overdue”
The MINIMUM SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, 
for which you are responsible, begins at 10,000 
miles = 16,000 km or every 12 months whichever 
comes first.
Volvo recommends that you bring your vehicle 
in for service at least once a year regardless of 
mileage. For service intervals beyond 150,000 
miles/240,000 kilometers, consult your 
authorized Volvo retailer.
A maintenance Service Operations Chart details 
these service requirements. They are listed by 
engine type with required emission related service 
indicated. See the article “Maintenance Service 
Operations” in this booklet.
Service SupportDiscuss your vehicle’s special servicing needs 
with your Volvo Retail Facility’s Service Staff. They 
can tailor a maintenance program based on your 
requirements. Your Volvo Retailer has access to 
the latest up-to-date technical information, special 
tools, and advanced training for their technicians.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
This support is an important advantage to you, 
the Volvo owner, as systems become more 
sophisticated and intricate.
Servicing your Volvo should be done at your 
convenience. Therefore, plan to make your 
appointments ahead of time so that your retailer 
can schedule the right personnel and equipment to 
be available for the work your Volvo requires.
Should you have any questions concerning service, 
parts, or warranty coverage, your Volvo retailer 
will be happy to answer them for you. Should 
you require additional information, they can 
further assist you by contacting Volvo’s Regional 
personnel for clarification.
Remember – you should always exercise your 
right to:
• Receive an estimate of costs before any repair 
work is performed;
• Receive prior notification of any additional 
repairs;
• Receive a copy of the repair order, including 
those for warranty repairs;
• Review repairs completed under warranty.
ServicingItems you should check at regular maintenance 
intervals and periodically when refueling:
• Engine oil level
• Coolant level
• Washer fluid
• Tire inflation pressure
• Brake system fluid levels
• Exterior lights (headlights, turn-signals, etc.)
Fuel requirements
Consult your Owner’s Manual for fuel 
requirements.
Octane Rating
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline
Volvo endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline” where available to help maintain engine 
performance and reliability. TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline meets a new standard jointly established 
by leading automotive manufactures to meet the 
needs of today’s advanced engines. Qualifying 
gasoline retailers (stations) will, in most cases, 
identify their gasoline as having met the “TOP  TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards.
NOTE
Information about TOP TIER Detergent 
Gasoline is available at www.toptiergas.com.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
of the emission control system and could result 
in loss of emission warranty coverage. State 
and local vehicle inspection programs will make 
detection of misfueling easier, possibly resulting in 
emission test failure for misfueled vehicles.
NOTE
Some U.S. and Canadian gasolines contain 
an octane enhancing additive called 
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl 
(MMT). If such fuels are used, your Emission 
Control System performance may be affected, 
and the Check Engine Light (malfunction 
indicator lamp) located on your instrument 
panel may light. If this occurs, please return 
your vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer for 
service.
Gasoline containing alcohol and ethers
(oxygenated fuels)
Some fuel suppliers sell gasoline containing 
“oxygenates” which are usually alcohols or ethers. 
In some areas, state or local laws require that the 
service pump be marked indicating use of alcohols 
or ethers. However, there are areas in which the 
pumps are unmarked. If you are not sure whether 
there is alcohol or ethers in the gasoline you buy, 
check with the service station operator. To meet 
seasonal air quality standards, some areas require 
the use of “oxygenated” fuel.
Methanol
Do not use gasolines containing methanol (methyl 
alcohol, wood alcohol). This practice can result in 
vehicle performance deterioration and can damage  critical parts in the fuel system. Such damage may 
not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited 
Warranty.
Volvo allows the use of the following “oxygenated” 
fuels; however, the octane ratings listed in your 
owner’s manual must still be met.
Alcohol – Ethanol
Fuels containing up to 10% ethanol by volume 
may be used. Ethanol may also be referred to as 
Ethyl alcohol, or “Gasohol.”
Ethers – MTBE
Fuels containing up to 15% MTBE may be used.
Engine oil
This vehicle comes from the factory with 
synthetic oil.
Oil specificationsFull synthetic engine oil meeting the minimum  RBS0-2AE/SAE 0W20 must be used. Lower 
quality oils may not offer the same fuel economy, 
engine performance, or engine protection.
Volvo recommends:
Oil additives must not be used.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Oil viscosity
Incorrect viscosity oil can shorten engine life under 
normal use. SAE 0W-20 will provide good fuel 
economy and engine protection.
Turbocharger Operating Tips
In order to maximize the efficiency and operation 
of your vehicle, the following points should be 
observed:
1.  Oil change and filter replacement every 
10,000 miles/16,000 km, or at a time interval 
based on the type of driving and conditions as 
detailed in your Owner’s Manual. You should 
maintain a record of these services (repair 
order receipts).
2.  Do not use engine oil additives as they may 
adversely affect the engine.
CAUTION
Never race the engine immediately after 
starting. Oil flow may not reach some 
lubricating points fast enough to prevent 
turbocharger damage.
Before switching off the engine, let it operate 
at idle for a short time to allow the spinning of 
the turbocharger compressor’s turbine vanes to 
slow. After hard driving, this idle time should last 
a couple of minutes, during which the vanes will 
slow and the compressor will cool down while 
still receiving oil lubrication. If the turbine vanes 
are spinning at high speeds when the engine is 
switched off, there is a great risk of heat damage 
and/or turbine seizure due to lack of lubrication. Do not race the engine just prior to switching 
off!
